Now, before we go any further, this article is NOT saying that Paul Feig’s original Ghostbusters: Answer the Call was set to be a sequel to the original movies (although, we once thought it could have been here).
Proof Inc is a pre-visualisation company who develop pre-vis stuff for movies and they have recently put their work online for Answer the Call and likely because the new equipment hadn’t been finalised, they have they using the tech from the original two movies.
We interview Paul Feig about Ghostbusters: Answer the Call and all the controversy that went with it
Not only that, but we can also see the original character names on the nametags on the jumpsuits with Kristen Wiig’s Erin Gilbert called Gabler and Melissa McCarthy’s Abby Yates called Bergman. It’s a fun little catch.
Proof Inc had this to say: “We had the great pleasure to work with Director Paul Feig and VFX Supervisor Pete Travers on the “Ghostbusters” reboot. Our work totaled a ghastly 30 minutes of run-time, and included Previs, On-Set Vis, and Postvis. Our team was fast and nimble, generating sequences without the benefit of storyboards and then transplanting them to new locations as the script continued to evolve. During production, a Proof team travelled to Boston to provide real-time comps of Times Square for the filming of the big 3rd act finale. No Proof artists were slimed in the making of this film.”
